There's just something about Beth O'Leary that is absolutely incredible. Every single one of her books has a different feel to it and they all are SO good. The versatility and variety of her writing continues to amaze me.
As for The No-Show you can't really say much because you don't want to give anything away. I was confused and trying to figure out what was going on for literally 75% of the book. But, whenever everything finally clicks together, I was left speechless. I was sobbing with a broken heart but then it gets pieced back together. Even though a lot of this happens at the end of the book, it doesn't feel like it wraps up too quickly.
If you love slow burn books and commit to the long haul, this is definitely the book for you!
